You are great, O God,
and greatly to be praised;
truly your greatness
is unsearchable.
How pathetic we are
when we try to worship
not you, but the gods
we have made.
How can we make a
difference with our lives--
what are we among so
many people?
Yet, when we belong
to you, and to the one
whom you have raised
from the dead,
you use us, through
him, to bear much fruit.
